Great deal, but as a reminder - TP Link (routers in particular) may be banned by the US Govt for national security reasons. Great price, but I just don't think I'd trust much of anything computer or network related from TP Link at this point. You can argue this poses less of a potential security risk, but I think you're crazy if you buy a TP Link router at this point.

Eh. You can get generic (which TP-Link is effectively) Bluetooth 5.1 adapters for under $1 shipped on eBay. If you absolutely need 5.3 support, maybe a decent deal. But if you're just using it for headphones or a joystick, I feel like the money could be better spent elsewhere.

If you get a generic Bluetooth you run the risk of having to finding the drivers to recognize that device. With TP link is just plug and play and already recognized as a Windows compatibility device

I bought a USB hub for $3 bucks and it will only work with only ONE item being inserted. If I insert two or three it gets jammed and none will work !

Quote from SplendidFuel6542 : $9, are you serious? [img]https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Now, if you transfer videos over Bluetooth, you would see some efficiency gains. But still nothing compared to just plugging in a USB cable directly.

Quote from theon105 : There has been 0 evidence of any malicious actions by TP-Link. There's also no evidence that the vulnerabilities in their router were intentional. Even the article you linked says this: Quote : Why is TP-Link under investigation? Sources told the Journal that TP-Link routers, which are manufactured in China, are routinely shipped with security flaws and that the company has resisted engaging with security researchers when those flaws are identified. In October, Microsoft released its own analysis that found that TP-Link routers made up most of the compromised devices in a Chinese "password spraying" hack, referring to the attack as "nation-state threat actor activity."
Pretty much every brand of routers and networking equipment have had vulnerabilities and continue to have vulnerabilities in their products.
"But that argument doesn't make sense since many of those routers were malware-infected NetGear and Cisco SOHO devices..."
Do you really believe that? Zero evidence?

But either way it's included for free. Super-slick.
Well, at this point, you'd have to ask yourself, would you rather have US-flavored spyware or china-flavored spyware.
